Yes, there is an export function `No LMS - Web Only` that you can use to create a zip file which contains all files and folders required to upload to a website.
How can I publish the content on my website? Is there any tutorial where I can learn how to do it? I do not need to track the learner's progress, but I would like to set an individual password for each learner. Is it possible?
Hi there Nathalia! Check out this Peek screencast that Justin made explaining how you can get your Rise content on your website.
If your website is set up to allow users to log in with passwords, you can restrict access to your Rise course through that mechanism. If you would like to take advantage of Rise's password protection feature, you can simply use the Share link that Rise generates and check to include a password. Note: The password you choose will be the same for all users taking your course through the Rise link.
Is it necessary to zip the file and place it on your websites server to integrate it into your site? Or can I just send my web team a Animated GIF (that grabs users attention) and link a click action on the GIF to open the Https://rise.etc... address? I want to know about this requirement because I find Rise to be an attractive platform for developing and updating tutorial content without involving the web team every time I make a change.
I intend to use Rise for free customer training on our products as well as potentially creating courses your our channel sales partners. I know the second use case is a seperate integration issue because our partner portal is JIVE based and sits behind a Firewall to keep unauthorized persons from accessing confidential materials.
Keeping it in a single copy at a single web address means that all updates go out to everyone. ANd, you don't have any versioning headaches, which occasionally can reach migraine proportions!
Hi Evan! You’ll want to keep in mind how heavy the traffic will be for your course and what you’d like to control — For tracking and viewer analytics, you’ll want to take advantage of the option to export your course for LMS or web. This application might suit your channel sales partners better.
We’re happy to offer an efficient solution for light sharing of your content with the Share URL. I think it’s a great idea to leverage the ability to host and update your Rise course all in one place if you don’t need tracking capabilities!
Thanks for the response. So If I am understanding you correctly, in order to get detailed analytics on user click location and frequency for example I would need to zip the file for Web. Maybe I can get the webteam to give me access to their FTP for uploading subsequent versions without a formal request. This is assuming I keep the same Animated GIF "attention grabbers" to serve as the hyperlink buttons that lead to the course.
I already get video views and engagement rates via Brightcove (Most of the content on the course will be videos).
Tracking clicks and where the user spends the most time in a course isn't something built directly into Rise, but it could be something your LMS has at the ready and you could also look at what options are available from Google analytics. I know a few users were getting started with setting those up in this forum discussion so you may also want to reach out to them and see if they have any other ideas! The "contact me" button on an individual's ELH profile can be used to message them directly.
Can we, instead of putting a course we made in Rise on our web servers, use the link that is available via the share function? Is there any problem with doing this if we don't need to know user analytics? Thanks.
The only problem that might exist is leakage of your company's sensitive information using the share link. Its a public link with simple password protection. So it all depends on information security policies that you have to abide by otherwise the share link is a great way to easily link rise courses to websites without detail backroom integration.
Another security question here. I cannot get the Rise course to run on Canvas LMS. It will load but freezes. For this reason, I am not tracking inside the course. Instead, I created a course in the LMS and added the link to the Rise course. Only members of our domain can get to the course in the LMS. What is the security risk in this case? Are there other security measures Rise offers?
What link have you used inside your LMS to link to Rise?
If you're using the Share link that means it could be copied and shared with anyone else, and they wouldn't need to go through your LMS to see it.
I'd like to help you with the course freezing in your LMS, as uploading into your LMS using the Rise export options will provide you tracking, security within the LMS and all the benefits that LMS hosting has to offer.
Can you tell me more about what browser you're viewing it in? Are you pointing to the indexapi.html file?
I’m using Chrome. It’s the company default. We have had minor issues
viewing through Chrome but recently tested and couldn’t repeat the issue.
I’ve requested whitelist also.
Yes, that’s the file. Thank you for the support. I’m working with a huge
course and the launch date is next week.
When i download and unzipped the webversion of my course, can i use that link directly or do i have to publish it..I still get a blank screen when i open the index file..
Once you've published your content for web-only output, you can share that zip file with your web administrator to upload and the learners will need a link to the index.html file.

Thanks, I did see that and I export but when I click on the Index.html file I get a blank browser window.
Did you download and unzip the published content?
Ah, that is what I did not do, unzip! Thanks!

Good point Evan...

I did this, but when I try to open the .html file I script? Any ideas on how to resolve?
Hi Julie,
Can you explain a bit more about what happens when you try to run your index.html file from the Rise output?

Hi, I created a Rise course but I can ran with Internet Explorer in Moodle
WHERE CAN I host my Rice to the public to access???
Hi Loli,
Did your course not work in Moodle?
If you're not able to use that for Rise courses, you could also look at using a web server such as Amazon S3 for hosting.
Thank you Ashley, I will try Amazon!!!
When i download and unzipped the webversion of my course, can i use that link directly or do i have to publish it..I still get a blank screen when i open the index file..
Hi Elvira!
Are these the steps you followed? From your Downloads folder...
Let me know if that helps!
Hi,
I've just double clicked on 'index.html' but nothing happens. I'm still not sure how I add this onto our website so others can access it.
With thanks,
Michelle
Hi Michelle and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)
